Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose

And sometimes the blues get hold of you

Just when you thought you had made it



All around the block, people will talk

But I want to give it all that I've got

I just don't want to waste it



Talkin' 'bout sweet seasons on my mind

Sure does appeal to me

You know we can get there easily

Just like a sailboat sailin' on the sea



Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose

And most times you choose between the two

Wonderin', wonderin' if you have made it



But I'll have some kids and make my plans

And I'll watch the seasons run away

And I'll build me a life in the open

A life in the country



I'm talkin' 'bout sweet seasons on my mind

Sure does appeal to me

You know we can get there easily

Just like a sailboat sailin' on the sea



Talkin' 'bout sweet seasons

Talkin' 'bout sweet, sweet, sweet seasons
